Interesting; tables can be the worst culprits, depending on whatever, I don't know. I've never been able to decide if it was the qty of images or qty of anchors and which cell/s they live in. Hmmm.

Sounds plausible, but it might be more work than just splitting the files apart as I've done before. Since these are all pre-existing files I'd have to pull from Writer, Paste into Draw, fix, & Paste back into Writer. Wonder if I could get a macro to do that? Probably not. Thanks for your thoughts though! Unless I get a brainstorm from your comments, I think I'll go the split-documents route and Master Document/s if/when the images will stabilize for me.
